Just a day after AMD's SP5 socket was pictured, the first picture of the EPYC Genoa CPU in its full-fat 12 Zen 4 CCD configuration has been pictured.
AMD Zen 4 Powered Full-Fat EPYC Genoa CPU Pictured: Features 12 5nm Dies For Up To 96 Cores
Discovered within the TF AMD Microelectronics publication and discovered by @phatal187, the image shows an undisclosed AMD EPYC Genoa CPU without its massive heat spreader. This chip features a total of 12 CCD's and while we don't know how many of them are enabled on this part, such configurations will offer up to 96 cores and 192 threads. There is also the massive IO die and a lot of capacitors on the interposer which will fit on the massive LGA 6096 package.

With the recent rumors suggesting the consumer-aimed Zen 4 CPUs hitting mass production later this month, it looks like the EPYC Genoa CPUs may also be targetting mass production soon since they are planned for official launch in the second half of 2022.
Here's Everything We Know About the AMD SP5 & EPYC Genoa Server Platform!
Starting with the details, AMD has already announced that EPYC Genoa would be compatible with the new SP5 platform which brings a new socket so SP3 compatibility would exist up till EPYC Milan. The EPYC Genoa processors would also feature support for new memory and new capabilities. In the latest details, it is reported that the SP5 platform will also feature a brand new socket that will feature 6096 pins arranged in the LGA (Land Grid Array) format.This will be by far the biggest socket that AMD has ever designed with 2002 more pins than the existing LGA 4094 socket.
